'88 Bethlehem budget to hold line By Sal Prividera

Town employees are targeted for a pay hike, while taxes are expected to remain at present levels under the tentative 1988 Bethlehem town budget, totaling over $8.6 million, presented Monday to the town board by Supervisor J. Robert Hendrick.

In a special meeting Monday, Hendrick said he is calling for town employees to get a salary increase of six percent in order to keep up with inflation. The incr€ase will cost the town approximately $265,000, he said. Last year Hendrick asked for a six percent pay increase but the board approved only a five percent adjustment. Inflation has increased 90 percent in the last 11 years,

while town salaries have increased by 66 percent, Hendrick said.

Hendrick was required by state law to prepare the tentative budget upon rec~iving estimates for the

Can county force bridge repairs? By Sal Prividera

A South Bethlehem resident has uncovered a recent amendment to state law that may facilitate repairs to the Jericho Bridge - if Albany County officials can be persuaded to use it.

The law may allow the county to take legal action against Conrail, which has so far refused to take any responsibility for the bridge, which spans its Selkirk Yards. It was closed over 18 months ago by county engineers.

Michael Fahey, who has been spearheading attempts to get the bridge reopened, submitted the information on the amendment to the Bethlehem Town Board last week, with the request that the board take legal action to hasten the repair work.

obligations incurred by the previous owners.

"The amendment says clearly that they (Conrail) are a railroad corporation," said Zoning Board of Appeals Attorney Don DeAngelis, sitting in for absent Town Attorney Bernard Kaplowitz.

Gov. Mario Cuomo signed the amendment of Section 93 on June 29.

However, DeAngelis said that the town could not take legal action against the county or Conrail becausejericho Rd. is a county road. The town might consider inquiring on the status of the repairs, he said.

Supervisor j. Robert Hendrick said he contacted Albany County Executive James Coyne in light of the information presented by Fahey. Coyne was "unaware" of the amendment, Hendrick said. The town supervisor suggested that he and the town attorney meet with Coyne and a county attorney in an effort to get the repairs underway.

projected to total $6,224,964, an increase of $659,872. The highway fund has been increased under the tentative budget by $181,607 to $2,369,175. The sewer budget has also been increased by $38,762 to $2,287,973.

Only the water fund was projected to decrease in the 1988 budget. The fund decreased $29,345 from last year's budget to$2,556,928.

"I don't see any major increase (in tax rates)," said Hendrick. The general town tax will decrease slightly or remain the same, he said. However, highway, sewer and water taxes "may go up slightly."

What Fahey discovered is an amendment to state Railroad law. Section 93 of the law states, "When ·a highway crosses a railroad by an overhead bridge, the frame work of the bridge and its abutments shall be maintained and kept in repair by the railroad corporation." But Conrail, the public rail corporation that took over from bankrupt private railroads, has always maintained that it is not liable for

Orchard Park water district set in motion By Patricia Mitchell

Attempting to resolve water problems in Orchard Park, the New Scotland Town Board has agreed to make a town-village water connection through the town park. In exchange, the board hopes the Village of Voorheesville will grant temporary village water for the development.

The town board has also authorized the town's engineers to do a map plan and report for an Orchard Park water district using

Voorheesville as a temporary source and an as-yet-to-he proposed development on the former Tall Timbers Country Club as the ultimate source.

Village officials said they would be willing to talk about the plan.

Supervisor Stephen Wallace pro· posed the two resolutions after a joint meeting of the town and village boards two weeks ago. The loop through the town park from Swift Rd. to Salem Hills in Voorheesville is proposed to be done

in the spring with an eight-inch line. The town will buy the materials and town and village workers will put the line in. It will be constructed in exchange for temporary water for Orchard Park.

The village ran a line to the Swift Rd. park after the town agreed to loop its main to Salem Hills. Wallace said the loop was supposed to have been finished years ago because the town park was being developed in phases. However, federal money for the project ran

The town board also authorized engineers C.T. Male to d.raw up a map plan and report with the village as a temporary source until a water system that is expected to be

Bethlehem Democrats select of any legislaior in the county." He said that Morris lias either ulost touch with the people or... never was in touch with them." Dinneen said he will deyelop a "positive program and will keep in touch with the electorate."

D Road Burns, 3 for legislature (From Page 1)

And some Feura Bush residents know County Rt. 102 as South Road, said planning bOard member John Loucks of Western Avenue in Feura Bush. Rt. 102 crosses New Scotland, Bethlehem and Coeymans town lines, and has been known as South Road, Snyder Bridge Road, Quarry Road and Feura Bush Aqueduct Road.

The Bethlehem Democratic Com­mittee has announced its slate for the Nov. 3 elections, and as expected only one candidate will be running for town office. )'he Democrats will run candidates against the three Republican county legislators in Bethlehem.

Bob Burns of Glenmont was tapped by the party at its caucus last week to run for the Bethlehem Town Board. Burns, who was a leader in last year's citizen fight against the proposed Northeast Psychiatric Hospital, set the theme of his campaign in an opening press release, calling Bethlehem a "town without a plan."

According to Democratic Chairman William Burkhard, Burns has decided to run in the at-large contest for the two town board seats currently held by Fred Webster and Ruth BickeL Webster was appointed to replace W. Scott Prothero last year, and Bickel is retiring this year with fellow Slingerlands resident Thomas · Scherer the G.OP choice to succeed her. That means Burns will be running against two candidates who are facing the voters for the

·first time, a fact he mentioned in his initial press release.

For the county legislature, the Democrats selected John "Spike" Dinneen, Stephen Kennedy and Richard ·Picarazzi. Only Picarazzi has run for office previously.

Burkhard had made no secret of the fact that he was 11_aving trouble finding candidates for the town election, so the decision to skip the town supervisor race, as well as the­contests for the other two town board seats and the town clerk and highway superintendent positions, can hardly be seen as part of an overall strategy. However, Burkhard confirmed Friday that the party had made a deliberate decision not to · run a candidate against Receiver of Taxes Kenneth Hahn, who had just won a bruising primary to retainhis position. Hahn has pledged to work with the Republican committee, which had sought his ouster, in the general election.

The Democrats probably will use Hahn's "party bosses" theme as part of their campaign. Also, concentrating on one town board candidate could help the Democrats get their message across this fall.

Burns is ruiining on a planning platform with an emphasis on long range planning in the community. ''Town Republican leaders have had decades to follow through on their election time prOmised to 'plan' and the current state affairs in the town of Bethlehem is-a clear

demonstration of their failure," he said. He also said he warits to preserve the "good things" in the community" artd bring the town board closer to the people.

The Democrats are also attacking the construction of the ·Main Square shopping plaza on Delaware Ave., one of whose developers is Councilman Dennis Corrigan, also up for election. However, Corrigan, who is filling the unexpired term of John Geurtze, iS running unopposed for a two-year term and Burns chose not to run against him.

Main Square, said Burns, is being allowed "on the most congested residential/businesses strip of land in the town- this after offering lip service for the past few years to the community that voiced such grave concerns over Delaware Aye. congestion -·is more than even a

loyal Republican can accept," Burns said.

Steven]. Kennedy, a lawyer, has been made the Democratic candidate for the 35th County Legislative seat, running against incumbent James Ross. He is a graduate of the St. John's University Law School and is a member of the state and American· Bar Associations.

Running in the 36th County Legislative District against in­cumbent Robert Hoffmeister is Richard Picaraizi of Selkirk, who ran for town supervisor in 1985. He is a graduate of the state University College at Fredonia and is an independent businessman.

· 4 officers in running for sergeant post

After scoring the highest on a recent exam, four Bethlehem police officers will be eligible to fill an open

· sergeant's position in the department. Police Chief Paul Currie said a

panel is being formed now to interview the candidates and select the new sergeant. After the panel of one· town board and four police department representatives are named then a date wH! be set for interviews.

Those interviewed will be those that- received the three highest scores on the Civil Service exam. Currie said officers Cynthia Reed· Kerr placed first, Marvin Koonz placed second, and Louis Corsi and Robert Samsel tied for third place. He said other Bethlehem officers passed the civil service exam, but the new sergeant will be selected from the top four individuals.

Blue Mountain Lake· bus trip planned

This has led to some confusion and most residents have petitioned New Scotland and Bethlehem officials to name it South Road. However, because, of three South Roads in New Scotl~nd and one South Street in nearby South Bethlehem, Bethlehem officials are recommending instead the names of Quarry Road, Snyder Bridge Road or South Quarry Road. The Feura Bush Neighborhood Associa­

. tion is having a survey done of residents, said Judith Wing,, and riwst deeds show it as South Road.

Board hires Rt.9W consultant Ithaca firm to do first phase of study ..

By Sal Prividera Efforts to expand. Bethlehem's

planning capabilities are moving forWard, although somewhat slower than town officials h3d anticipated.

_ After some discussion, the town board last week decided on an Ithaca-based engineering firm to conduct a "scope study" of the Rt. 9W corridor. The firm will define what work needs to be done in the

'"iull-scale planning study of the area, which the board has been discussing for more than a year. Also, town officials said last week that they are close to hiring a full­time town planner, . but the selection committee's choic~ probably won't start work until November.

The Ithaca firm PERC was approved to make the scope-of­services study after town board members agreed to reopen the discussion of possible consulting engineering firms, which had ·been tabled_

Commissioner of Public Works Bruce Secor told the board that the town nfeded to select a firm to define the scope of the study since "the scope of services as outlined is

vague. Secor explained that -without a defined scope tke town

would have difficulty comparing bids from different firms. He added that the town could end up with an expensive study that it "could not pay for at this pain!."

He said the study would put the project in terms both the town and the engineering firm could under­stand. The study would cost between $500 to $1,000, Secor said. "It would be good to get input from interested partifs in the 9W area," he added.

Secor suggested the firm of BTML, saying the company _was not involved in any work in the town. However, he added that several of the firms that had indicated interest in doing the study were equally qualified and the board did not vote on his recommendation.

Board member Dennis Corrigan said the board should look for sOmeone with m~nicipal experience. "PERC of Ithaca struck me as the best," he said. "I'd like to think whoever does the scope (of services study) does the study."

The board should "get familiar with" the company that does the scope study if they are a candidate for the final project, said board member Fred Webster.

After discussion on other firms that board members thought-might be candidates to undertake the study, the board unanimously decided on PERC. Secor said that whai he had heard about the Ithaca company was good. Corrigan added that it was·''wise to look outside.of town for a fresh look."

Meanwhile, Supervisor J, Robert Hendrick said the committee charged with selecting a full-time planner has made its recommend· ation and he expects to meet with the candidate this week to discuss salary and benefits. The candidate is employed by another municipality in 'the state, and wants to transfer his civil status to Bethlehem, Hendrick said. Also, the candidate will have. to give his present emplOyer a month's notice, Hendrick said.-

The job description for the new position is "a flexible thing at this point," he said.

In other business, the town board:

• Appointed Wenda Raynor to the position of part time Animal Control Officer on the recom· mendation of Police Chief Paul Currie.

• Awarded contracts for two 4· wheel drive vehicles and an integral backhoe loader. ·

• Approved the referral of the case of Bleau vs. Spinosa to the outside law firm of Welt and Stockton on the request of town attorney Bernard Kaplowitz.

The next regular Bethlehem Town Board meeting is slated for Oct. 14 at 7:30p.m.

State installs new signs for Rt. 85 bottleneck

Bethlehem and New Scotland 9rivers traveling south on Rt. 85 will be noticing new signs up before the four-lane divided highway narrows into a two-lane road..near the Thruway overpass just inside the Town of Bethlehem. ·

The state Department of Transportation ptit up the new signs recently and is planning to add more following a head-on crash in August which killed a 15-year old Delmar girl, seriously injured her mother and brought a seven-count indictment against an Albany woman. Two more signs will also be placed by a contractor, said Bill Logan, assistant regional traffic engineer of Region I.

-· A contractor will be placing a

large "do not pass" sign and a warning sign for single lane traffic o:verhead just before the road narrows, but Logan said he does not know when that will be done. i..

A. crash several years ago involving a northbound car that went into the southbound lane where the highway becomes 'f' divided prompted the state to put up overhead signs advising drivers to bear right when going north. ·

Reuss said that county attorneys checking on the amendment to

Warning signs that the road will be going to two lanes have been placed on both sides of Rt. 85 near the Krumkill Rd. overpass, about a mile before the area, Logan said.

Jn the Aug. 6 crash, 36-year-old Deborah Moquin of Albany was driving south O!) Rt. 85 where the four-lane highway changes to two lanes when her car crossed into the northbound lane, apparently to pass another car, according to police reports. Driving north, Alice Quinn attempted to avoid a crash with Moquin's car, but ·was unsuccessful. Alice Quinn was · hospitalized for abdominal injuries, and a passenger, Dr. Brian Quinn, escaped injury. Cathleen Quinn died from head injufies she received in the crash.

Police buy new DWI breathalyzer

A "state of the art" breathalyzer has been purchased for the Bethlehem Police Department that will allow more accurate testing of bl'1"d alcohol levels.

Lt. Richard Vanderbilt said 15 police officers were traine"d on the new equipment and it has·been in use since Monday.

Called a BAC (blood alcohol content) Datamaster, the breath­alyzer takes infra-red readings for determining blood alcohol levels in suspected driving while intoxicated incidents, Vanderbilt said. The results of the test are automatically printed out fronla. computer leaving no room for human intervention or error, and it is a quick test. He said it will also allow Bethlehem police to report statistics directly for the Bureau of Municipal Police. ..

The equipment, which cost about $5,000, was funded by the Albany County Stop DWI program, Vander­bilt said.

Jubilee cancelled Due to insufficient ticket sales,

the Hudson Valley Girl Scouts' Diamond Jubilee, scheduled to be held Wednesday (today) has been cancelled.

Closer to where the road narrows, Logan said, "do not pass" signs have been placed. And on the other side of the Thruway overpass in Bethlehem, ''pass with care"signs have been placed along the southbound lanes. ·

Adams Station plans studied D Town budget By Ruth Fein Wallens

•· Developers of Adams Station, a multi-unit apartment complex form­erly known as Juniper Fields, are ready to begin construction im­mediately if revised plans submitted to the Bethlehem Planning Board last week are approved.

The revisions the board is tcheduled- to consider at its next meetipg include new apartment floor plans, a reduction to from six to eight units per building (from the originally approved 10 to 32-unit buildings), and a change in the overall appearance of the buildings from contemporary to colonial.

The 282-unit complex is described ·as upscale and will be located off Elm Avenue at the end of the Delmar Bypass.

The presentation made by the developers depicts the project's proposed new look as an apartment community that more closely resembles a grouping of two-family homes.

The revised designs "blend in with the surrounding community'' much more easily than the original contemporary, "Woodlake-like" plans approved for the project, according to attorney Rex Ruthman, one of the developers.

Action on another major develop­ment, section two of Dowerskill Village in Glenmont,' also was postponed until the board's Oct. 6 meeting. Revised plans for the project, submitted to the board at last Tuesday's meeting, include single-family duplex units in addition to four-unit apartment buildings.

The original plans submitted for the 33-acre site on Hague Boulevard off Rt. 9W included 460 apartment units.

Land surveyor Paul Rite, repre­sentingjenkins Management Comp· any, said the developer wants to build less than half the number of units originally proposed, including only 62 apartment units and 61 single-family homes.

The original plans were opposed by homeowners in section one of the development, consisting of single­family homes and town houses, and other area residents concerned about traffic and the impact on the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk School District.

The planning board postponed scheduling a public hearing on the revised project plans until informa­tion Was made available to them regarding the project's impact on

HAVEN'T YOU BEEN WONDERING ABOUT WHO YOUR BETHLEHEM

TOWN BOARD MEMBERS HAVE BEEN REPRESENTING LATELY?

You thought they represented YOUR interests, but YOU surely didn't ask them to build MAIN SQUARE! Just who did they represent when two sons of the former Republican Supervisor were allowed, without dissent, to construct a huge shopping mall just inches from the same congested Delaware Ave. that you have been asking them to be so careful about?

You thought they would protect YOUR interests when considering large commercial and residential projects and that YOUR input would be weighed heavily before decisions were made, but time after time town residents are dismayed to learn about local projects only after the town leaders have already conferred with the developers and have given their ''conceptual" approval.

You thought they meant it when, decades ago, they said they would protect YOUR interests by developing a real plan for town growth, and stick to it. THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS SURE HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME, HAVEN'T THEY?!

ISN'T IT FINALLY TIME TO REMIND THEM WHO IS STILL IN CHARGE?

r-----c==--· BOB BURNS is the only Demo­cratic -alternative to the Town Board candidates selected by the Republican party bosses, the same bosse!i who brought you "Main Square" and "The Town Without A Plan." -

BOB BURNS is the only candidate who can truly claim a commitment to RESPONSIBLE PLANNING and who can effectively propose and fight for a useful master plan. for town' growth, without influence from developers or self-serving political leaders.

BOB BURNS will bring to the Town Board 13 years of experience as a Probation Officer and Deputy Probation Director, experience that provides a unique blend of law enforcement, counseling, personnel administration, budget preparation and management, community relations, labor negotiations and direct service delivery to the community. A graduate of CBA and Siena College, Bob is a member and past treasurer of the American Society for Public Administration.

BOB BURNS has a record of commitment to the community. He has been elected president of the Boards of Directors of two non­profit agencies, has been active in Glenmont Citizens and Neighborhood groups, and is a member of the Delmar KIWANIS, the Glenmont School PTA, the St. Thomas community and a social member of the Elsmere Fire Company. ,

ISN'T IT FINALLY TIME TO LET ONE DEMOCRAT REPRESENT "YOU" ON THE TOWN BOARD? VOTE FOR BOB BURNS!

traffic and the schools.

The board also heard a presentation by Frank Mesiti, owner of Adams Hardware store in Delmar, who requested site plan approval for an addition to his existing building at 333 Delaware Ave. The addition would supply storage space for equipment now stored outside and provide for additional office space. Action on the application will follow an approval . from the Albany Planning Board.

Tax payment deadline The deadline for Bethlehem

property owners to pay their 1987 school tax bills without a penalty is Wednesday, Sept. 30 (today).

Taxes can be paid at the Bethlehem Town Hall tax office until5 p.m. Payments can be mailed if the letter is dropped at a post office ' building. Mail received Thursday morning will be accepted without Penalty, according to Kenneth Hahn, receiver of taxes.

Property ownefs who wish to defer payment into October will incur an additional two percent fee, Hahn said. All bills must be paid by Nov. 1, he added, or they will be collected with a seven and one-half percent penalty.

stable because town officials are anticipating a surplus from last year's general town revenues. The surplus has been anticipated due to an increase in the town's mortgage tax revenue over the past two years. Also, Bethlehem's tentative total taxable assessed valuation has increased by nearly $5 million between 1986 and 1987.

Hendrick said that it was not possible to estimate the property tax rate until the expenditure figures are finalized.

Under the tentative budget funding will be allocated for improvement to three outlaying. parks in the town. Work would be

'done at the North Bethlehem, South Bethlehem and Henry Hudson parks.

Site work and a basketball court would be completed at the South Bethlehem Park at a cost of $10,000. The roadway and site clearing would be done at the North Bethlehem Park, also at a cost of $10,000. The tentative budget also calls for $25,000 to install a water line and sanitary facilities at the Henry Hudson Park.

Facilities for meetings, social activities and recreational get­iogethers in the Town of Bethlehem are limited, according to a citizens committee appointed by the Bethle· hem Town Board to investigate the need for a community center.

The committee recently reviewed preliminary findings from the first of two studies- a survey of 47 area organizatioFis commissioned by the committee and conducted by the State University at Albany. The survey was conducted to det_ermine the num her of organizations that maintain meeting facilities in town and the availability of those buildings to outside groups ..

Reil~y says was misled, &hanges moratorium view

Cossac said she has a right to call for a moratorium as acitiz.en of New Scotland, and she cannot speak for Reilly's actions. The moratorium was called for because the town has to expedite its programs and get answers to its problems, she said. --

The town needs to ha'{"e

something in the works instead of a moratorium, Reilly said, adding that he wants the information he called for in August. The zoning ordinance is a "living document" but some things now exist that were not considered when it was adopted, he said.

By Patricia Mitchell Councilman Herbert Reilly, Dem­

ocratic candidate for New Scotland supervisor, has come out against a

_ building moratorium proposed by ''town Clerk Corinne Cossac, the

Republican candidate, and claims

planning board consultant arrd water resources commission chair­man, said zoning attorney John Bailey has advised that the moratorium has to be thoroughly researched and justified. However, Reilly said Monday he doesn't think the town board should have agreed to adopt a moratorium and he felt like a "jerk" doing so.

agenda for the meeting at 3 p.m., Sept. 2, the day oft he meeting, and he was told by Cossac that nothing important was on the agenda, with only five letters to be discussed. Groesbeck Rd. home okayed

that he was misled on September's agenda when the moratorium was proposed.

~At the time, Reilly seconded the motion for a moratorium and voted in favor of it.

'At its Septtmber meeting, the town board agreed to adopt a moratorium. At a special meeting of the board on Monday, Robert Cook,

The town is not preparing for a moratorium and is not dealing with its problems, Reilly said, pointing to a request he made at the August meeting to have information on other zoning ordihances that were not supplied in September. Reilly said he asked for a copy of the

" When he came to the meeting, there was a sixth letter from Cossac on the agenda calling for a moratorium, Reilly said.

However, Cossac said she did not have the letter in her possession when she typed the agenda, even though Reilly said it was stamped that it was received on Sept. 1. This has happened before,. he said.

At the meeting when Cossac's Jetter was read, Reilly said he looked at Councilman Blanche Stickley, a Republican candidate for the town board, who read a typewritten statement in ·favor of the moratorium. Reilly said he was elected to the board with 2,000 votes and Stickley was appointed to fill a vacant seat in a3-1 board vote, with Reilly casting the negative vote.

Stickley said Reilly should not bring politics. into the discussion; Reilly replied that it was politics.

A home on Groesbeck Rd. in the Onesquethaw Valley has received approval from the planning board for two variances.

The planning board recommend­ed approval to the zoning board of appeals at its meeting last Tuesday.

Charles Groesbeck, who will be buying the house from his father, requested the side-yard and area variances. The elder Grosbeck has been on the farm since 1911. Groesbeck will be buying the land's original house and his daughter will be buying the second home that has existed for more than 50 years. The two houses are not 50 feet apart and the original house is on about 37,000 square feet of land.

Located in a Residential­Agriculture zone, the zoning ordinance requires 50 feet between houses and at least 40,000 square feet of land.

built by the Galesi Group of Rottetdam for its 500-unit develop­ment at Tall Timbers is in use. Wallace said the village would need to approve another loop on the east side of the village near Orchard Park and that the interconnection would be "advantageous" to both.

A map plan of the water district for an idea of its cost may be avail~ble at next Wednesday's meeting, said Robert Cook, planning board consultant and water resources commission chairman, and a proposal for Galesi's water system . could come at the November meeting.

Even though the town board cited the Galesi Group as a· source for Orchard Park, Cook said it did not bind the town to decide anything on the development. To be known as Voorheesville Ventures, the planned unit development (PUD) is expected to be proposed in two phases, the first on the east side of Hilton Rd. and the second on the west· side. Developers have said there would be no building without the water system that they would eventually turn over to the town and they have invited Orchard Park residents to become part of the water district from the beginning.

The village mayor. and the president of the Orchard Park Neighborhood Association said this was a big step in addressing their concerns. Mayor Edward Clark said the offers are worth considering. The loop through the park would definitely be of interest for improving the village's water system, but he said he is concerned because he doesn't want to make the village vulnerable to other requests. The village board has taken a firm position on not extending its water outside the village and any plan would have to be firm, he said.

"It seems to be a reasonable ·response to our criteria," Clark said, adding the village board is aware of the- water situation in Orchard Park. "This sounds like the right kind of thing."

Pat Bulgaro, president of the neighborhood association, said he is encouraged by the town's offer to extend the water main loop through the park and he thinks the town and the village are inches from a solution. Bulgaro said he encourages the two boards to have a direct

· dialogue to reconcile, and sOlve the .matter.

water contaminants conducted by the neighborhood association, 25 reported methane, 20 reported sodium, four reported bilcteria, nine reported. sulfur, 32 repOrted iron, and 16 sediment or dark water. Four homes said they lost their well water, and one homeowner said it was lost for a total of four and a half months.

Twenty-nine homes said their well was within 100 feet of their septic system, including one within 57 feet, and 10 wells were more than 100 feet away from their septic system. Residents have also reported other problems such as loss of hair, discoloring of clothes and dishes, tarnished fixtures, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting that they attribute to their-water.

Dr. William Grattan, Albany County health commissioner, said Friday 24 homes have been tested for methane in the air. Two homes have been found to have high readings, around five percent, in toilet tanks; and 14 other homes

-have readings below that. No open spaces in homes tested for methane, Grattan said, and the health department will do water samples for the gas in homes where no methane Was found in the air. . State Health Department guide­

lines list measures of five to 15 percent by volume of methane as

HARDY

Grattan said a public water supply is need~d for the development and the health department is supportive of all efforts for one. However, the health department doesn't have the authority to order a water district in the area, he said ..

In meetings with the health department, Bulgaro said Grattan indicated the problem in Orchard Park wa~ significant.

Water district questioned At Monday's town board meeting,

Harry Van Wormer of Appleblossom La. in Orchard Park said the town should develop its own water sy'stem using available properties in the Tall Timbers area and a water study by the water commis­sion's intern aye¥ ago. He said if the wells expected to be developed by Galesi fail, residents could come back · to the town . with water· problems in two years. Water is . needed, but not just for the 60 _ homes in Orchard Park and the water district method used by the town is piecemeal, he said.

The study . for the water commission compiled· sources and information on groundwater in the town into one place and identified the two best sites for water ori the Tall Timbers land, Cook said. The developers of the property have come voluntarily to the town with a willingness to create a water system and donate it to the town.

recommend that the town charge ahead and buy the land before more studies are done.

Village turns down • annexation request

By Sal Prividera

The Village of Voorheesville will not be increasing in size after a unanimous decision by the village board of trustees to deny a request for annexation of land into the village.

The village board and the New Scotland Town Board held a joint hearing earlier this month on the request of Albany attorney John Garry to have 14 acres of land currently within town boundaries annexed into the village. The 14 acres are part of a 62-acre parcel located on Voorheesville Ave. behind C and R Drywall.

The parcel was sold to the Basil Development Corp, according to Garry, and he asked for the annexation under terms of the sale contract.

the department of public works and the building department.

The annexation was described as a "loss all around for the village" by Trustee Dan Reb.

In other business, the board:

• Approved a $17,000 bid from GNH Lumber, Inc., of Windham, for plans and materials to build a salt storage shed behind the village-· garage. The agreement would require the shed to be complete for use this winter. The bid from GNH was the only bid received by the village.

• Was informed by _Donohue that 11 of 17 residents eligible to be connected · to the village sewer district number two have applied for service. He said that nine had already been connected.

• Discussed briefly the possibility of a land swap with the village ambulance company.

Trooper Heriberto Cepeda 1,.....

Assigned to Selkirk Trooper Heriberto Cepeda recently

reported for duty at Troop "G" · foJ.lowing his graduation from the

State Police Academy in Albany. He has been assigned to the State Police at Selkirk, where he will work with Trooper Dennis Lebuis during his probationary training.

Mayor Edward Clark began the discussion by telling the trustees his mind "was clear on it." He said it was "most important that our water system be protected from overload." The annexation of the property would give access to the village water system to a large number of ne:w homes, Clark said.

• Congratulated the fire company on running a well-organized con­vention for the Albany County Volunteer Fire Fighters the previous weekend.

Cepeda, a resident of Ellenville, graduated from Ellenville Central High School and attended the State

·University College at Cortland. He is married to the former Patricia Ann Lahey.

Russell Sage offers transfer credit

Citing the possibility of the land being developed into multiple dwellings and an impact on traffic on Voorheesville Ave., Clark said, "I see no gain to the community or hardship to the owner by denial."

All four village trustees voiced negative views on the request. Edward Donohue said he saw no benefit to the village and was concerned about the impact on the village water supply. In addition to concerns about the water supply, Susan Rockmore said there would

A contract for sChematic work for possible renovations of two Ravena­Coeymans-Selkirk elementary schools has been approved by the school board.

The $30,000. contract with the architectural firm Mendel, Mesick, Cohen, Waite ~ and Hall was approved by the board at its meeting last Monday. Ben Mendel of ihe firm told the board the fixed fee is about half of what the assessed fees could be and were set because the final cost of the project is not known yet.

The contract that outlines the services the architectural firm will do .is a "standard agreement for a wonderful project," Mendel said.

A final plan to ease overcrowding in the three elementary schools has not been proposed yet, though the facilities and enrollment committee studying the problem is moving towards a long-term recommendation on increasing sPace at two elementary schools, closing another one to academic use, and upgrading the junior and senior high schools.

The RCS school' ·board . has endorsed the idea of closing the Ravena School and placing additions onto the Pieter B. C6eymans and Albert W. Becker schools,contingent on an approved building plan.

Mendel also said his firm is now recommending to school districts to hire an outside consultant to best estim~te costs of construction, and he sa1d RCS should follow this recommendation.

In other RCS school board business, George Montone, principal of the Coeymans School, said the school's staff will be forming a leadership committee and will be looking at its. needs. Montone

attended the Principal's Academy and the Effective Schools Program at Skidmore College during the summer.

Coeymans teachers will be surveyed to get their concerns and then the committee will start working on those concerns, Montone said. It will be a collaborative effort to look at the needs of the school.

The school board also learned that mandatory instruction for grades kindergarten to 12 in AIDS (acquired immunity deficiency syndrome) was effective on Sept. 23 after the state Board of Regents reviewed and adopted draft regula-' tions. Board President Mark Sengenberger said AIDS instruction will be taught as part of the healih curriculum and will stress ab­stinence.

It is up to the school districts to define age-appropriate matters in the curriculum that is consistent with . the community'S views, Sengenberger said. An advisory committee made up of members of the community must also be formed to offer advice on the program.

Parents can request that their child be excused from class while the AIDS curriculum is being taught, but the course must be taught at home with the school's written materials, Sengenberger said.

The RCS school board also:

• Authorized Superintendent William Schwai-tz to represent the district in negotiating the changeover in health insurance companies with the unions. The district is still negotiating with Blue Cro_ss to be its new carrier. ·

Blackbirds run the option· over Academy Next io life itself and family, Pete

Douglas loves the quarterback option in football more than anything on this planet. That romance was never more evident than on Saturday, when John Meacham, one of Douglas's most adept practitioners, put on a clinic in full view of several hundred villagers and the Albany Academy football team.

Twenty-eight times on a bright autumn afternoon on the turf behind Voorheesville High School, this 160-pound senior kept the center snap, moved to his left or right looking to pass downfield. While unfriendly people chased him, young John had to decide whether to put the ball up, or shovel ·

keep it himself and try to find places to run.

The visiting Cadets were good at covering Blackbird receivers, perhaps too good for their own welfare, so Meacham was forced into option No.3 no fewer than 22 times. Three of those times he ran aU the way to the Academy end ·zone, once for 58 yards, another for 7 yards, and finally for 83 yards. Several times he was stopped at the line of scrimmage or trapped for a loss, but most of .the time he was on the m_gve, often for important first downs. . The official statistics credited him with a net of 213 yards on 21 carries, startling numbers for a quarterback.

behind the Helderberg bluffs,. the Blackbirds had thrashed a good Academy team by 19-7, taking over the catbird seat ·in the Colonial Division of the Capital Conference at 3-0. Schalmont is next, an away game, then neighborhood rival Ravena comes in.

After the kickoff, John Traudt broke loose for 17 yards, but on the third play Meacham was caught froin behind and separated from the balL This time the defense regained consciousness and a third-down sack by Bruce Kinisky forced the Cadets to punt.

The teams exchanged punts once more, the Academy boot rolling out of bounds on the Voorheesville 42 three plays into the second period. It was here that the Cadets, having sacked Meacham tWice in four attempts, lost control of the Blackbird sparkplug. On first down Meacham faked a handoff to

the score was 7-6. Two punts, a fumble and a major

penalty later the Blackbirds launched anothecdrive from their own 49. This time Douglas employed Traudt as a decoy. Meacham kept the ball 10 times in the ll plays in the sequence. He threw three times, twice hitting Marty Gordinier with short pitches on the option for critical first downs. Three times he was surrounded by the enemy behind the line, but twice he escaped, once for 5 yards, another · for 10 and a first down on the Academy 7. From there he swept to the left and scampered into the end zone just inside the flag. When Mait Cillis kicked the point it was 13-7 with 1:14 remaining in the half.

... it out to the fleet !lill Connell, or By the time the sun had retreated

For a while thing's looked dark, and Douglas, the resident strategist, had visions of a letdown after the big win at Watervliet a week earlier. The lllackbirds played the first period as though they were still reading their press clippings. The offense fumbled the ball away twice, and the defense was treated with little respect. The first fumble, coming on a completed pass on the second scrimmage of the game, gave the Cadets unplanned possession on their own 48. Employing straight football through the

Things looked dark ·for the home side when Jeff Deteso took a pass from]. R. Clearfield on a quick­out on the Blackbird 12, and even darker when a penalty gave Academy a first-and·goal on the 7. On third down Jayson White piled up a line play, and when Kinisky stopped Nick Brignola on the2-yard line, the threat was av~rted.

The Blackbirds couldn't move, and Kinisky punted from the end zone to a fair catch on the 37. Another punt exchange, but this time the Blackbirds got a major break when a roughing penalty gave them a first down on their own 28.

As the period expired, still at 13-7, John Traudt became weary of seeing his team struggling deep in their own terrain, and took charge. He hulled for 18 ·yards on three straight plays, dragging cadets on· his back. Then he threw a crunching block that sprung Meacham on a cutback through the middle for ll yards td midfield. Four more Traudt carries put the Blackbirds on the 36. The drive stalled on the 27, but Traudt's industry gave the home forces new heart.

With four minutes left, an Academy punt pinned the Blackbirds deep on the 17, but Meacham took , care of that. On first down he faked to the inside, ran left, picked up two blockers and got to the sideline. He danced past two tacklers, put a swivel-hip move on another and fled down the boundary stripe into the clear. The journey covered 83 yards. A pass for two points was grounded and it was 19-7.

With the clock running down, Gordinier intercepted a pass and ran to the Academy 20. Meacham and Traudt carried to the 8. In the final18 seconds Douglas called'two timeouts, but Cillis was Wide on a

field goal attempt.

Douglas explained his decision to try for another score with a 12-point lead and the clock dying. "Matty (Cillis) is in the (sectional) scoring race, and it was a chance to get him some more points."

Soccer team waits its turn for Cadets

Meacham capped the best day of his career with a 4-for-5 performance in the air for 54· yards to go with his 213 net on the ground. Traudt had 71 on 15 trips.

"The turning point was when Meacham broke that long run in the second quarter,'' Douglas said later. "Traudt was the key late in the third quarter and in the fourth. He had guys all over him, and he opened it up for Meacham. Once the defense settled down, we played the kind of ball we were capable of."

Albany Academy. Those are the two words that the soccer players at Voorheesville have been thinking about ever since the season started. Last season, the Birds accomplished a lot, winning the Section II Class C·CC championship and then reaching the Capital regional finals of the states. However, they didn't beat the Cadets, and never have. This Friday, they will try to accomplish this feat, something that no Colonial Council team did last .year or has done this year, to prove just how far Voorheesville soccer has come.

of Mechanicville. Tfue Birds won by a 6-0 whiteWashing, getting two goals from Jeff Smolen and one each from Mike Race, Andy Rockmore, · Brian Tracey and Joe Colburn. "It · was a good win because ·everyone got a chance to play," coach Bob Cradall said.

The next game was what Crandall called a "real strong test," Wednesday at Waterford. The contest was marred by the Fordians aggressiveness and quick tempers,

·and despite being outplayed, they led 2·1 near the end of the game, with Rockmore scoring the lone Voorheesville goal. "It was just a

matter of time before we scored," Crandall stated, and he proved to be right, as Race took a beautiful pass from Rockmore and pushed it home to send the game into overtime. Despite out shooting the hosts 7-0 in the first extra period the Blackbirds ·couldn't score. Finally, in the second overtime, Smolen went nearly the length of the field to score and give the visitors a 3'21ead. That is when the Waterford coach fearing a fight, pulled his team oli the field, giving the Birds the victory. "I was very pleased with the way ou_r kids reacted and kept their composure," Crandall said of th·e incident.

Two days later the Blackbirds hosted Watervliet, and got a little more than they bargained for. The Cannoneers proved to be a tough battle, and were seconds away from a stunning upset when senior john Lawrence scored for the Birds with less than a ~inute remaining, evening the score at 2-2. ·That is when Tracey took matters into his

o"wn hfinds scoring his second goal of the game in the first overtime to give Voorheesville the triumph. "They played very well and gave us a real strong game," Crandall noted. "I think we may have taken them a little too lightly."

Eagles in 'our biggest win' New time, new team By John Bellizzi 111

The Eagle football machine is still soaring, and not even Saratoga, last · year's Suburban Council champ, could stop them. Bethlehem proved to all the non-believers that they're back in the Suburban Council to stay by handing the Blue Streaks their first defeat since 1985 on Friday night, 7-5.

"We surprised a lot of people," commented BC Head Coach John Sodergren about Friday's victory. "In many ways that was our biggest win_ - not just from an underdog poi(lt of view, but in terms of achieving-credibility in the league- probably the biggest since 1978. It's the second victory in a row against a Blue Division team. This is the direction I hope to end up in." ·

The Eagles are currently on top of the Gold Division of the Suburban Council with a 2-1 record. After one­third of the regular season, Burnt Hills is a close second with a 1-2 record, but neither Guilderland nor Niskayuna, who make up the remainder of the Gold Division, have won a game yet. The 0-3 Niskayuna Silver Warriors will be

· the Eagles' next opponent this Saturday evening at Eagle Field. "They're dangerous," warned Soder­gren. ''The scores of their games are not really indicative of how they play. They're struggling, but they have some good athletes and good size. I'm concerned about coming out ready to play, because if they can capture an early lead, that will give them a big push. We have to establi;:;h 01Jrselves early in the game and take control."

Friday evening's game at East Side Recreational Field in Saratoga began with a scoreless first quarter, but the Streaks gained the edge in the second period. At the halftime break, Saratoga was out in front by an unusual 5·0. The Eagles came back in ihe third to win it. Mike

. Hodge was in at cornerback for BC on Friday, but the Eagles had to depend on Lance Sprinkle and Dave

Football Sodergren to keep delivering the strong performances at quarterback that they have been producing since Hodge's injury.

Keith Harney of the Streaks put them on the board early in the second quarter. with a 25 yard field goal. The next time the Streaks took over the ball, on their own 30, a 15 yard run on the first play from scrimmage set them down for another first down on their own 45. Saratoga QB Darren Miller com­pleted a pass to Tony Manti, for a gain of over 30 yards. This brought Saratoga within BC's 20 yard line. Bethlehem's defense stood strong, and Saratoga' finally gave up the ball on the one-yard line. BC was unabletoadvancethe ball past their own three yard line on the three subsequent plays, so the punt team was called ih.

Assuming kicker Paul Vichot would have been able to get the kick off from the end zone without it being blocked, the punt probably wouldn't have gone far, and Saratoga would have taken over the ball in good position to score a touchdown even though there was only a minute left in the half.

Sodergren's alternative? First, an intentional delay of game, which cost BC half the distance to the goal line. Then, long snapper John Reagan snapped the ball out of the end zone and over the fence for a safety.

."It was the thing to . do," explained Sodergren. "I was concerned about· everything that could go wrong if we punted. It was completely intentional. I told John (Reagan) to snap it right over the· fence. He looked at me funny at first, but then he understood. I didn't want to take a chance of a bad snap, or mishandling the snap, or anything else that could have caused us problems. We had to weigh the risks - there's a big .

Though they only gave up two points instead of six in ·that sequence,the Eagles were still in a 5-0 deficit situation at halftime, one that could have been very sticky fo get out of judging from Saratoga's strong second half performances that propelled them over Burnt Hills and Colonie. "We were definitely concerned with the strength that they had shown in the second half in their.first two games. We did a good job of establishing our ground game, and we had the field position in the second half to our advantage."

BC's defense was able to thwart the Streaks' second half scoring attempts, and the Bethlehem offense. scored a much-needed touchdown in the third quarter on a one-yard run to take the lead. A five yard keeper by Sprinkle, followed two plays later by a fourth down pass to Chris Saba for a seven yard gain gave the Eagles a first down at ·the Saratoga 30.

Fullback Rich Gray picked up two yards on the next play, but Sprinkle was nailed hard by the defense at the lirie of scrimmage for no. gain on the next play and was replaced by Sodergren. Two plays later, it was fourth and eight and Sprinkle came in to attempt a field goal.

A flag was thrown prior to the snap of the ball, and a-five-yard encroachment penalty against the Streaks put BC at fourth and three and caused the Eagles to rethink their strategy. Instead of the kick, a pitch to Bob Dillon picked up the first down for Bethlehem. Dillon picked up four more on the next play, taking it to the two yard line, and Gray carried.it to the one on the next play. Gray scored on a dive with 1:30left in the quarter to give Bethlehem the lead· over. Saratoga 6-5. Sprinkle's extra point attempt was successful to bring the score to 7-5.

The air was tense throughout the fourth quarter. All the Streaks needed was one touchdown or field goill and they could win it. Saratoga was still in this game, and they had

Soccer team has split week By Lisa D'Ambrosi

It was a 4-2 week for Bethlehem Boy's Varsity Soccer team, who defeated Scotia, 4-2 on Wednesday and then losing to Guilderland, 4-2 on Saturday.

In the game against Scotia, the Eagles demonstrated exemplary play in spite of the fact that the game -was officiated by only one referee, whomadesomecontfoversial calls against Bethlehem. When Scotia was going for their first goal, gOalie Blake Hannan jumped up into the air to get the ball and was submarined. Scotia then scored on BC. According to the rules, Coach Gene Lewis said, the referee is supposed to protect the goalie when this occurs.

Scotia's second goal was scored after the referee awarded them a free kick. Bethlehem had argued the call and were still"not mentally into the game," according to Coach Lewis.

We were "never in any danger of losing," commented Lewis, but the Eagles should not have let them score that goal.

Jason DeWitt scored two goals, both on free kicks, and Sean McDermott and Alex Koff each had one goal.

On Tuesday, the Eagles defeated Burnt Hills 8'h to 'h. Rain prevented completion of the third sets. Coach Grace Franze said Bethlehem won easily. This. match was played without first ranked Kristin Jones, but gave Coach Franze the opportunity to move her singles players up. Sixth ranked senior, Kay Chung, won her match, as did doubles players Anita Coplan and Michelle Burkart · and Jeanne -Cunningham and Jenny Grant.

For the match, Coach Franze revamped the doubles teams. New combinations were Liz Keens and Robin Richards, Valerie Maeder and Gretchen Reed and Michelle Burkart and Heather Syrett. First

ranked freshman, Jones, played a "superb match" against section two championjenny Whalen, losing 6-1, 3-6, 5-7. Despite the wind and cold weather, Bethlehem defeated Saratoga 6-3. This win gives the Eagles a record of 5-0. J.V. is also undefeated under Coach. Bob Freedman.

Both Coach Franze and the team are optimistic about meeting undefeated Niskayuna on Friday. So long as the Eagles "play hard," according to Coach Franze, they have a chance.

Bethlehem will also meet Shaker on Tuesday and Shenendehowa on Wednesday.

In the game with Guilderland, the Eagles were "defeated by the terrible twos,'' according to LeWis. His theory is that the first and last two minutes of each half are critical to winning the game, and sometimes they can backfire.

advantage, but -Guilderland came out strong.

The Eagles had apparently lost their concentration in this game when they scored a goal for Guilderland. The ball was resting on a corner post, and it was touched in by a halfback, making the score 2-1. With one minute and thirty-five seconds left, Guilderland scored again because two of their players were unmarked in the Eagles box. Coach Lewis said both he and Guilderland's Coach agreed that the scorer was probably offsides. Bethlehem lost 4-2 in overtime.

According to Coach Lewis, "we shouldn't have lost." The Eagles were passing weakly and the defense was poor. The outside fullbacks weren't marking their men, and they were lacking concentration. Guilderland took full advantage of this by stripping the ·ball. They were primarily successful because some of their players went unmarked.

Thet:_e was a certain deja Vu to this game. Bethlehem lost last year to Guilderland, too. Coach Lewis said the two schools have "been old adversaries for a long time" and have great "respect for one · another."

Indians get 'shut down' RCS runners face toughest tests by Burgh defense, mistakes

By Sal Prividera

The Indians dropped their record to 1-2 with a 24-18 ·Joss to the Lansingburgh Knights Saturday behind a weak offensive outing and some key missed tackles.

"We did not move the ball ·offensively," said RCS coach Gary YanDerzee. "They shut us down."

Lansingburgh opened the scoring on a 37 yard pass from jerry Caiazza to take an early lead. The passing conversion attempt failed. The Indians came back to even the score with a seven-play drive that covered 49 yards. Running back Bob O'Neil capped the drive with a 28 yard scoring run. The kick for extra point missed the go~l posts.

In the second quarter, Lansing­burgh took advantage of poor tackling by the Indians' defense,

Football scoring on a 56 yard run by Mark Branch. However, the Indians' defense kept the team in the game by recovering two turnovers that were converted into 12 points. Steve Deitz intercepted a Knights' pass and rumbled 50 yards for a touchdown. The running conversion attempt was stopped short.

RCS scored the only points of the third quarter· after· a fumble recovery by Bob O'Neil, but again missed on the conversion, taking an 18-12 lead.

Soccer team shut out, By Josh Curley

. After three crushing league losses in a row, one might think-the RCS Girls Soccer team would be ready to give up. But high spirits have already carried the team half way through the season.

At the start of the season many people didn't seem to have much faith in the Indians, including some pessimism from within the team. However, things started to look up for Ravena when they tied Lansingburgh and confidently beat Cohoes 5-2 two weeks ago.

Since then, things have gotten tougher. Shut-out losses from

Schalmont, Holy Names and Mechanicville last week left the

. Indians' Colonial Council record at 1-3-1.

Last Saturday, Ravena faced the undefeated defending council champ­ions Mechanicville. The Indians played aggressively, led by Jennifer Rodd and Marty Arnold, who played outstanding goalie, coming up with 15 saves.

Team captain Tamie Samsel says the rougi\ week hasn't discouraged the team;

This week the Indians have three Council games. They will play Watervliet, Lansingburgh and Schalmont.

On the ground the Indians' running attack gained 97 yacds from Tim Baranska (28 yards), Arthur Burnett (35 yards) and Bob O'Neil (34 yards).

Coach VanDerzee said that his defense was "out on the field too much" and played well with the exception of the big plays. "We got handled offensively and defensively up front."

PeeWees win, Midgets edged

Last week proved to be a succesS for the RCS Cross Country team, which earned two Council wins arid a second place at the Greenwich Invitational meet,

The Ravena boys destroyed Albany Academy by placing five Indians ahead of the Cadets' top runner. RCS also beat rival Voorheesville by a convincing 23-28 score in the double dual meet last week. Bill Pelletier led RCS in the victories by ·finishing strong just behind Voorheesville'sJohn Decatur, who holds Ravena's cross country course record. Pelletier was followed by Jeff Schaeffer, who stayed in front of Voorheesville's second runner through the race. Jim Noeth, Chris King and Josh Curley finished in fifth, sixth and seventh respectively in the race. -

The girls had an equally successful day. The Lady Indians defeated Voorheesville and Holy Names in their double-dual meet. Dena Perry, Theresa Darlington,

Tamie Stalker and Michelle Dedrick provided the main force in the win.

Last weekend, both the boys and the girls took second place at the Greenwich Invitational. Schuyler· ville, defending Class D State Champions, just beat the boys out for the win. Bill Pelletier ran to an outstanding- second place finish followed by Noeth in seventh, King in fifteenth, Curley in eighteenth and Mike Frazetta in nineteenth. Corinth beat the RCS girls by a mere four point for the top team title. Darlington (fifth), Perry (sixth), Dedrick (seventh) and Stalker (eighth) all finished the course within 11 seconds of each other. Bob Pelletier dominated the JV contest, winning it with ease.

The hidians toughest test will come Tuesday (yesterday) when they race against last year's council champions, Cohoes and Schalmont. On Saturday, the squad will compete in the Grout Invitational held at Schenectady's Central Park.

BC harriers put it together By Bill Dixon

First off, it should be noted that last Saturday's Guilderland Cross Country Invitational at Tawasentha Park had been a meet for which the· Eagles had been prepared.

In fact, Bethlehem Cross Country has always had a special respect for the Guilderland course, a two and one half mile beaten path composed mainly of steep hills and dirt trails, while at the same time accepting it as one more challenge to be overcome by hard work, persever­ance, and not just a little determination. It seems the formula has worked once more, as the team ran what may have been its most promising race of the season.

The week had started out in aggravation Tuesday as the Eagles

hosted a dual meet against Scotia and Columbia. The boys team tfeated the race as little more than a workout, expecting to defeat their opponents with relative ease. This they did, beating both teams by some 30 points.

The girls race, however, was recognized even beforehand as much more of a contest. Where the men had gone one through four (Craig Isenberg came in· first, followed by Bredan Ke'arse, Brendan Mitchell and Tom Nyilis), the women would have to go three through six in order to beat their real antagonists . of the day, Columbia.

Unfortunately, the link between Columbia's second and third runner could not be broken, which

left the Eagles with places four through seven (Becky Arenson, Julie Hammer, Amy Smith and Kathy Saba). This resulted in the team losing to Columbia 33 to 23. It was obvious to everyone who had been following the team's progress that Tuesday's race had fallen far shOrt of the team's ability. This being the consensus of the runners and their coach, John Nyilis, motivation for Saturday's race was tremendously high, as the Eagles wished to redeem themselves.

first, followed by Champlain Valley of Vermont. Still, the Eagles place as a team might obscure some of the team's individual performances. Hammer came in forth in her race, with Arenson not too far behind at fourteenth. Saba took twenty fourth place, followed by Snihh at twenty seventh. Walter placed thirty-third. Judging by these results, it seems the women's te#m may have come upon a turning

The Bethlhem girls field hockey team faceS a big week this week, and they are ready -and coming on strong. Although their record reads 0-4-1, two of their games were lost to them in the final two minutes of the game, and· the Eagles tied a previously undefeaied Niskayuna team with a 2-2 score last Wednes­day.

It proved to be a tough week for the Bethlehem girls soccer team.

Tuesday's game at Scotia was a trying expefience for all involved. The Eagles lost the game 5-0. The ladies have the ability to beat the Scotia team, but BC got off to a shaky start. The bus came late and so the team arrived at Scotia after 4 p.m. Bethlehem only had 10 minutes to warm up and began the game on a discouraging note. In the hurried atmosphere, the defense failed to mark a man and Scotia scored their first goal within the first two minutes of play, setting· the tone for the rest of the game. julie Frances did, however, have 14 saves and BC had 13 shots on goal, but failed to capitalize on them.

Friday, the Eagles played 100-­minutes of soccer against Guilderland and came away with a 1-1 tie. Bethlehem's goal was scored by Heather Smith, who had her best game. ever, and was- assisted by Lynette Stracke. Smith played aggressively, passing effectively, and taking lots of shots on goal. BC almost won the game i~ overtime

when Guilderland's goalie had a great save on another one of Smith's shots. Bethlehem's defense dominated the game as Kristin Cooke and Kelley Docteur played exceptionally well.

With a record of 1·1-2; BC faces a tough schedule· this week. They played Columbia on Monday, Shenendahowa on Tuesday, and will face Niskayuna on.Thursday. Coach Kelly Keller commented that, "if the team stays healthy they have a good chance of beating these teams." Coach Keller also believes that this is a very talented team and if they can top off their great play with goals then they will be very competitive.

Guilderville hopes to challenge Eagles

Girl spikers have experience,

By Matt Hladun " The combined girls swimming

team of Guilderland and Voorhees· ville, kriow as Guilderville, start their season this week. They open up against Troy on Wednesday and meet Shenendehowa on Friday. Both will be at Voorheesville High , School.

The girls are coached by Nadine Bassler and are a part of what is known as the Aqua League, made up of mostly Suburban and Big Ten council teams. As always, the team to beat will be Bethlehem, which

Swimming has not lost a meet in about 15 years. But aecording to -Bassler, Guilderville should be swimming in a close second.

The team's top swimmers are eighth grader, Cathy Jo Dedrick, ninth grader Nicole Leach, tenth grader Angela Washburn and twelth graders Rachel Martin and Janine McAssey from Voorheesville

, and Becky Hilton from Guilderland.

BC girls beat Troy

A switch of sports by a prqminent Bethlehem Central athlete has been a major force in ·projecting the BC girls volleyball team into the thick of the Suburban Council race.

]ody ]ones, a top star on championship BC tennis teams for the past four years, opted for volleyball indoors this autumn, much to the surprise and delight of Nancy Smith, coach of the Eagle spikers, Jones, noW a senior, played volleyball for several years when it was a winter sport, but it was not until Suburban Council coaches moved the schedule to the fall season that Jones had to choose which kind of net she wanted to attack,

She got a big welcome from Smith. "Jd'dy and Leanne Frye are our best hitters," the coach said

this week, enjoying her team's 5-l record. "They bring a lot of "experience to the team."

Smith has five juniors and a gifted freshman to go with her five seniors. The experienced troops include senior captain Erica Roos and three juniors, Suzie Bellacqua, Julie Battles and Amy Koski. The talented newcomer is Brenda Fryer, a freshman who has made a major contribution. -

The Eagles polished off Guilder, land and Scotia last week despite the loss of two established players to kriee injuries. Donna McAndrews is out for the season, but Smith is hopingJennifer Flynn, a junior, will be back in action before the playoffs. ~The Eagles were scheduled to

play twice on the road this week, yesterday (Tuesday) at Columbia

The Bethlehem varsity . swim team beat Troy last week with a final score of 90,80. The team had only eight healthy swimmers and two healthy divers. Those able to compete swam commendably and placed in 9 out of 11 events. Exceptional performances included first place in the 100 yard backstroke by Suzie Cleary with a time of 1:14:8. Naomi Kubo, a new member on the team, plaCed a strong third in the 200 yard 1M, an event she did not swim before. Michelle Russo, also new on the team, placed third in the 100 yard backstroke. The two divers, Kelly Ross and Laura Dotterer dove extremely well. Laura scored 109 points, her personal best. Kelly scored a strong 182 points.

said, "The Niskayuna meet won't be too hard since they have no training pool, but the Scotia meet will be more difficult. They were second to us last year, lost some strong swimmers, and have just merged with Mohonason, so we're not sure what to expect."

THE HOME TEAM

By Tom Kuck Broker Manager

TO TELL THE TRUTH A new law in California requires

that sellers of single· family homes­in fact, properties up to four-family homes-disclose to buyers any mechanical or structural defects. Other slates may follow with con­sumer-protection regulations.

Will this change the way we sell real estate? Not too much. We have always guarded our reputation in town. Even when home sellers move away, we stay here; we don't want any complaints.

What probably will occur is an increase in home inspections by qualified engineers. And instead of waiting for prospective buyers to order the inspections, smart sellers will be ready with inspection reports. A good mark will make their prop· erties more salable, more attractive to would-be buyers.

It makes sense to keep your house in goOO shape, anYway. Should you decide to sell, it's ready to be marketed more quickly. If you stay, you stay in a nicer home.

Team started off their season with some very tough games. First, they lost their season opener to Niskayuna in a heartbreaking loss, 1-0. Next, they played Coxsackie­Athens, where theY claimed their first win. Their next three games all resulted in tough losses.

lchabod Crane, Maple Hill and Albany Academy for Girls all proved to be too tough for a very strong Voorheesville team. The Blackbirds stand at a 1,4 overall record and 1-3 in the league standings.

Despite their record, the Blackbirds are playing very well. With the return of the key starter, Karen Deeley, the midfield of the team

should be greatly improved. The defense, perhaps the strongest part of the team, is led by goalie Jessica Kilar and Heather Mihaiak. Other supporting defenders are Andrea McAssey, Sue Arthur and Stacy Loewy. Offensively, the returning starting line of Sarah Fike, Tally Bausbeck and Steph Brown should provide strength for the Blackbirds.

The Blackbirds played Tuesday against Taconic Hills and Thursday against Germantown. These two games should be the toughest of the year for the team.

Candidate speaks Editor, The. Spotlight:

Responsibility shared Editor, The Spotlight:

Ia open to all readers lor letters in good taste on matters of public interest, Letters longer than 300 words are subject to editing and all letters

In resPonse to a letter from Thomas Bruno, Jr., I would like to make a few comments. ·

Tfhe existing situation in the Orchard Park development in the Voorheesville area is· certainly regrettable, and as a community we should all be concerned. I would suggest, however, that the prOblem be put in proper perspective relative, to total responsibility.

. should be typed and double-spaced if possible. ·Letters must include phone numbers; names ·will be

. withheld on request. Deadline is the Friday before publication.

Efforts appreciated Editor, The Spotlight:

in that, the paper performed a very . real ~t:rvice lo lhe coinmunity. Well done!

I enjoyed reading Nat Boynton's series on . the history ·at The Spotlight. In his telling of the skill, · dedication to an idea (and the community), and wholehearted, heartfelt ·effort of the people who gave The Spotlight life and kept it alive, he revealed the paper's soul­it was a I-eflect~on of the character and values of those who :Produced and contributed to it, and in that, a reflectio'n of the community.

I hope that Mr. Boynton will corltinue to contribute his flavor to The Spotlight's pages -,food for thought is good for the soul - of reader, paper and community. Your contributions provide that.

Nancy Relyea

Slingerlands

He and those who went before and with him, made a valuable contribution to the community in enabling and sustaining The Spotlight as an. instrument of communication, between and among · neighbors. Despite the paper's simplicity and size of its staff and resources - Or, perhaps because of them.,.? The Spotlight was a fine hometowl)., community newspaper of substance.

Looking forward Editor, The Spotlight:

It was interesting to read, always informative, sometimes amusing and most often, thought provoking. It provided its readers with insight into the people and events of the community and those affecting it (for better or worse), by giving full and truthful accounts of even

, events unpleasant and/or unflat-tering. That took courage (when advertising dollars and bread and butter were at stake), and con· viction, and it took the couiage of conviction, aild a dedication and commitinent to not only "good journalism," but to the community · and the people within it, as well.

A community well informed is . challenged to consider the people and things that affect it from a large ·perspective than that of the individual's own back yard and self· interest, and instead, to -think objectively and act thoughtfully with the interest, welfare and well· being of all of its members firmly in mind - and at heart. The Spotlight seemed to wofk toward that end in its reporting and editorial thrust-

I write as.an interested.observer in the recent political contest involving our local tax collector. I write as a neutral since who could support anyone who wants to take your money.

However, it points out the difficulties of running against any incumbent in .Delmar. No wonder the Democrats can't find candidates, even the Republicans couldn't successfully orchestrate a change. I say they should punish the tax man by denying him stationery c.tnd stamps so that no tax bills could be sent out. Then throw him out for failure. to obtain necessary revenues.

On a similar but different note, observe the trials of presidential candidate.Joe Biden. Wouldn't it be hysterical if his real last name were Hartnagle. "Oh vanity they name is mud!"

Looking forward to Election Day. . William]: Acquario

'I don't drink ~ wine' Editor, The Spotlight:

County Executive Jim Coyne's political ads portray him as· an ideal man. That is a little like saying that CoUl)t Dracula works for the Red Cross.

Reynard K. McClusky

Delmar

First, my ad is meant to be an introduction of myself to the voters of New Scotland, without any presumption on my part as to who knows me.

Secondly, my business accomplish­ments over the last 25 years provide excellent examples of my qualifica· tions for town supervisor. Remember, the tow!} is a-$1.5 million business and should be run as such.

Thirdly, the reference to my family is- an in.Picatio!l of how deep our roots are in New ·scotland. It is because we live in and benefit so much from ihe community that I ~m committed to maintain a healthy town environment.

Moreover, raising nine children leads to a wealth of experience in dealing with people .. Anyon~ who doesq't think it tekes a great deal of insight and diplomacy to inaintain harmony in a family of eleven, both within the horne and in the community, should try it sometime.

My last point is in regard to my· voice in town hall. Anyone who even sporadically attends the board meetings knows how concerned I am about the confusion in zoning and planning lhat exists in this town. The mining proposal that Mr. Bruno refers to was one recommend­ed by the Republican·centrolled planning board and the Republican zoning Doard attorney. It was presented to the town board as a change that would allow the casual removal and sale of topsoil on Krumkill Rd., not the digging of a monstrous pit near Voorheesville. It might be noted that the whole town board approved this change, on the recommendation of the afore­mentioned plannin'g board.

I would certainly welcome Mr. Bruno's help in solving these problems. I would also welcome a call from Mr. Bruno, or anyone else, to answer any quest~ons or to ~ring them up to date on the mining issue.

Herbert W. Reilly, Jr.

Some years ago in Life magazine, there appeared an analysis of what

·caused one to become inebriated. Scientifically, according to Life magazine, one seeks out the constant factor in the cause-and­effect analysis. Different kinds of spirits and different kinds of mixers were used, together with ice. The conclusion reached? There was only one constant factor- the ice, and therefore ice Was the cause of one becoming inebriated. The other ingredients had little to do with it, <ind therefore, were not responsible for causing one to beCome drunk.

I firmly believe that government sits for the purpose of serving the needs of the citizenry, and has the responsibility to respond to those needs when they arise. Like the ice referred to" above, government is a constant factor and at times is held to be the cause of, or to be solely responsible for, a problem that has occurred. It is also, at times, expected to be unilaterally respon·

· sible for the solution of it. I submit that government should not be the sole seat of responsibility in this particular matter, and strongly believe that other parties involved have not been held accountable. They _;;hould be.

In my opinion, the lending institution, the real estate people, and most of all the developer, all inherently had- and still have:-- a major responsibility in this·problem. If 3.ny-reference has l;leen made to the above parties and their responsibilities in this matter, I apparently have missed it. 'Further, the individual buyer has the responsibility to use every mean.s at his disposal to investigate all aspects relative to the purchase of any property.

Unfortunately, the buyer is the

· only one on his side of the table. The lending institution gets its interest, the real estate people get their

commission, the developer takes the mon'ey with a handsOme profit, the buyer inherits the debt- and if things go wrong government ends up with the total responsibility.

To solve the problem will require the full cooperation of everyone. Unless all parties .involved accept their share of responsibility, an

amicable and meaningful solution will indeed be elusive.

Planning Board Member

Reeves' position Editor, The Spotlight:

I have no great problem with the recent (Sept. 16) Spotlight reporting of the Bethlehem school board activities·except that it in one case missed the point I made concerning the proposed Ad Hoc Enrollment· Facilities Committee.

. My main concern was that the committee at plus or minus 17 was not repres~ntative of the community -all were from administration and PTAs. People who had contributed two years ago were not on this sizeable committee.

This, however, was adequately addresSed by the decision to encourage community input to several subcommittees with, hope­fully, broad community experience and eXpertise.
